For my VICaR application, I need to display the action "Call with
Vicar" for all telephone number fields on a contact card. This is very
similar to how SIP (telepathy-sofiasip) works. I created a basic
telepathy connection manager and a telepathy account to use the CM. I
have set the property
"com.nokia.Account.Interface.Compat.SecondaryVCardFields" as "TEL".
This was sufficient in Fremantle to display "Call via Vicar" in
contact details page.
I know that Harmattan contacts application requires a Telepathy
account and an Accounts plugin. I already have Telepathy part working
(my Telepathy Connection is connected, Telepathy Account status in
online with path "vicar/tel/vicar0").
For the account plugin, I've used Accounts framework to complete these
things
- Created custom .provider [1], .service [2], .service-type [3] files
- Created an account with this custom provider/service and enabled it.
- Linked the account with the telepathy account path using tmc-uid
property.
But the account is still not displayed on the contacts page. Somehow
only accounts that use "IM" service type are recognized. I have even
tried setting the service-type as IM, but it didn't help. So, how can
I make contacts application recognize the custom service/provider
specifically for telephone number fields?
Thanks,
Sudheer

After days of trail & error, debugging I finally got the contacts
integration working. Unfortunately, I've tried so many things in the
last few days that I cannot pin-point what exactly fixed the issue.
Anyway, for people interested in such integration I would recommend
these changes (in addition to everything mentioned in my previous post)
- Use IM as the service type. I haven't seen any other service type work
with Harmattan contacts.
- Set the service property on telepathy account to your custom service
(based on
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/Account.html#Property:Service).
- Restart mission-control-5 often. Sometimes account changes are not
recognized immediately.
- Debug mission control with "export MC_DEBUG=all" option. Read the
syslog for possible errors.
